Key Takeaways

  • The Curve DAO Token (CRV) price trades under long-term resistance.
  • The CRV price previously broke out from two diagonal resistances.
  • Can CRV sustain its positive momentum and break out again in August?

Curve DAO Token (CRV) is starting to show some real strength after a long stretch of lagging behind the market.

With two breakout moves since late 2023, it is eyeing a critical resistance level that has been in place for years.

If this momentum continues, CRV could be setting up for a major rally.

CRV’s Bullish Breakouts

The CRV price has not performed well in the current cycle, barely registering an upswing since the 2022 lows.

This all changed in December 2023. The CRV broke out from a diagonal resistance trend line, leading to a nearly 400% price increase and a high of $1.30 in December.

However, the good times did not last long. CRV began another correction at the start of 2025, falling under another descending resistance trend line.

History repeated, and CRV broke out again in April, beginning the current surge.

Despite the multiple breakouts, the main horizontal resistance at $1.10 remains and has existed for nearly three years.

There is a massive gulf of resistance overhead, so if CRV breaks out, it could quickly become parabolic.

Momentum indicators are also bullish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) have surpassed their bullish thresholds at 50 and 0, respectively.

So, the weekly time frame technical analysis gives a bullish Curve DAO Token price prediction. Once CRV closes above $1.10, the rally could become vertical, quickly taking the price to $3.

CRV Price Analysis

The weekly time frame analysis points to a breakout, and the daily one suggests the move that triggers it has already started.

Beginning in April, CRV completed a five-wave upward movement and an A-B-C correction (red).

Then, it started another five-wave increase in June.

If this count is accurate, the CRV price finished wave four in the five-wave increase by bouncing at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement support level.

The second increase is already bigger than the first one. If it reaches the 1.61 ratio relative to it, the CRV price will top at $1.30.

In the short term, CRV is struggling with a confluence of resistances at $0.91.

Since the resistance trend line coincides with the $0.91 resistance area, a breakout above both will confirm the correction is over and new highs are likely.

Room to Run

CRV looks like it’s gearing up for another big move, especially if it can break above the $1.10 mark.

That level has capped the price for years, and clearing it could open the door to a fast move toward $3.

With a strong technical analysis behind it, CRV might just be getting started.
